We're bringing home our new baby in about 7 weeks!
She's 3 years old and is from a breeder up in northern Minnesota.
She just had a litter of 11 puppies and had to do a c section so they spayed her so she doesn't have to ever do it again.

I'm putting down my deposit tonight!

We're shooting to make the 4 hour trip December 23rd if her puppies are doing okay

okay pictures! note she just blew her coat, hence her coat

Aww, congratulations! Karma is beautiful. How is she after both her surgeries?

Have you been able to speak to the vet who did her c section and spay? I only ask because this is very similar to how we ended up with Faith. Faith is a retired breeder who had an emergency cesarean section when she had complications during her delivery that almost cost her her life. The breeder we adopted her from told us that all was great but we talked to the vet who did the surgery and they advised us that because of the c section her bladder had actually fused itself to her skin during recovery somehow. They only knew about it because they discovered it when she went in for her spay a few months later. I needed to know this information because it is relavant and important if she ever needs surgery again or has a related health problem later in life, the breeder should have passed this info along but didn't. I'm sure Karma will be fine but I would strongly advise talking to the vet who did surgery on her just to be safe and get the whole story straight from the horses mouth.

Congratulations again, she'll be home just in time for Christmas! Has Embry met her yet? How do they get along? How old is Embry again?

She is beautiful!!!

Gorgeous! Congratulations

eeep! poor Faith!
I have no idea how hers went, I will definitely ask when she emails me back this afternooon, thank you for the heads up!

No they haven't met, They're an 8 hour round trip away, So we're going to meet at a park and introduce them. He's 13 months.

No offense to the breeder at all because I'm sure Karma is a wonderful dog, but I'm shocked they let you put a DP down on her without having ever met Embry. None of the breeders or rescues would ever let me even consider a dog or buying one until they met Koda and saw how the two dogs interacted as well. I'm just surprised, but still super excited for you! She is just too cute! They're going to look adorable together!

Good point on the spay, Val I never thought of that! Makes me wonder if I should call Koda's neuter vet before they get rid of the old records....

She's a beautiful dog! Congratulations.

so i just got an email back about her surgery. it went perfect except for her uterus tearing during surgery, but that's why they spayed her. unfortunately they lost 2 of her puppies during the c-section though

what a handsome couple! congratulations on the new additions to your pack!
merry christmas to you!

congrats on your soon to be new girl!!!!! how come they are asking money for her? we got sierra becaues she had to have the same thing done but cause of her age and being a ex breeding husky we got her for free, they just wanted a good home for her. hope the two get along great! keep us updated

the $200 is just to cover her spay, so i was okay paying it.
